New York Times: Inside the White House, Mr. Trump furious after the FBI raided his longtime personal lawyer, Michael Cohen spent much of the day brooding and fearful and near what two people close to the West Wing described as a meltdown.'
Mr. Trumps public and private wrath about the special counsels investigation into Russias meddling in the 2016 election are nothing new. But the raids on Monday on Mr. Cohens Rockefeller Center office and Park Avenue hotel room have sent the president to new heights of outrage, setting the White House on edge as it faces a national security crisis in Syria and more internal staff churn.

(9,535 posts)and Tweet in his resignation. That's the best possible outcome for him at this point, I believe.
If he hangs in here, he'll probably wind up impeached or resigning in utter disgrace, quite possibly become the first president to be indicted and imprisoned on criminal felony charges.

(23,954 posts)there was only so long he could avoid it, but with Bolton on board it's only a matter of weeks before we get a brand new war on, and it doesn't matter much with who -- any "shithole" country will serve the purpose.
i think he was hoping to save it for September to maximize midterm election impact, but he needs popular support when he fires Mueller this summer, and a war is the quickest way to get it. May just became a very scary month.

(23,954 posts)probably just be another chapter in this ridiculous nightmare and another page in the chapter of the history of American expansionist idiocy, but if he thinks it will raise his mojo enough to really do what it takes to fire Mueller i fully expect he'll try it out. of course, it won't work that way, since everything president Dennison touches turns to gold-painted shit, usually sooner rather than later.
i think what happens is he launches his war, the media goes all-in for him like they did for W after 9/11, he has his military parade and for a week or two he breaks 50% approval as the "gotta support wartime president" circuit activates. then, after a month or so, it's right back where it is now but in the meantime Dennison's gotten well into the sausage works for firing Mueller. but he fucks that up too, his popularity peaks a couple months early, and people are pissed as hell at him right before the midterms.
but don't believe me -- hell i barely do anymore, i thought Hillary Clinton would be the 45th president. i (and a lot of others) completely underestimated the deep and time-honored American Love of gold-painted shit, well that was a fucking wake-up call right there, like having a Barnum & Bailey KKK rally make its entrance march through the bedroom every morning.

(56,828 posts)The media will turn attention to the war and Trump will get a bump in the polls because of it. He got a temporary bump last year for launching a few missiles at an empty airfield in Syria. I'm sure actual combat will get a bigger and longer last bump.

(19,201 posts)I hope Trump has a massive heart attack (if there is a heart TO attack!), a debilitating stroke, or a fatal aneurysm. I know that sounds horrible to some, but Trump deserves nothing better than those choices. Even prison is too good for him!

* - He refuses to cut his finger nails or toe nails
* - He won't brush his teeth
* - He won't comb his hair.
* - when he has to pass urine he just stands in place and wets himself, even in he is talking to important world leaders.
* - The only thing he is interested in eating are chunks of day old cat turds stabbed with a fork and then dipped in a thick warm chocolate sauce. He calls it his kitty fondue.
Pence, Kelly, Mitch, and Ryan is 45 ready to 25 yet ? Will somebody step forward and save America from the raw and naked and out loud in your face insanity ?
